Nordic Skiing

Nordic skiing (also known as cross-country skiing), is the oldest type of skiing in the world. Skis were formerly used to for folks to travel over snow-covered terrain. What started as something practical for everyday use was quickly turned into a race and grew from there.

Nowadays, we enjoy cross-country skiing as a great way to enjoy the great outdoors. Get a great cardio workout, or take it slow and just enjoy the view. This is even a great activity to enjoy with the kids and the canines!

This is the best spot to go and learn the ins and outs of nordic skiing! Picture beautiful enchanted forests, epic mountain views, and over 1,400 acres of carefully groomed trails. Sounds like a postcard photo, right? Choose from Classic Nordic or skate skiing—both are a ton of fun!
